I can certainly admit to having eaten one sweet too many or a glass of red wine / fizzy drink. All things that don’t do good for our teeth. Simply Health created a cool infographic showing us which foods to watch out for and which to use for good teeth health!
I created a juice recipe using some of my favourite ingredients from the ‘eat them’ section of the infographic. As autumn is descending upon us on a good shot go vitamin c along with the immune busting benefits of ginger so I named it ‘Second Spring’ …a new beginning, ready for the changing season.
Carrots
Carrot sticks are a great tooth-friendly, healthy snack. They are packed full of vitamin A, which helps form and maintain healthy teeth. Plus, their crunchy texture stimulates the gums and acts like a natural toothbrush.
Ginger
Ginger has many healthy properties, one of which includes being anti-inflammatory – helping to support healthy mouth tissue.
‘Second Spring’
Ingredients
– 3 large carrots
– 1 red apple
– 1/2 inch piece of ginger
– juice of 1/2 lime squeezed in after other ingredients have been juiced
Method
To make juice simply put ingredients (peel the ginger) through your juicer. Squeeze in lime juice.
I like to keep things simple…simpElle.

that juice looks lovely! i don't have a juicer so i usually have a smoothie consisting of apple, carrots, orange and ginger http://www.thatgoodgirlchi.blogspot.co.uk
I'm in love with ginger at the moment in juices! I also added some spinach to this yday and it tasted just as amazing but with some extra nutrients 🙂
Mmmmm PURPLE CABBAGE and salmon together is BOMB! 🙂 So good! I haven't had that combo in a while, but I mean, if it's good for my teeth…. HA AH! I am really loving the combo in this smoothie too!
I'm not sure I've ever tried purple cabbage! …Love salmon though so will defo give that a go!
